Manufacturing tools (jigs and tools) are used along the entire product development chain. Multi-form individual solutions are required that function reliably and are perfectly adapted to each other. We adjust the development of manufacturing tools directly to the relevant product manufacturing process. The production equipment will ideally be developed in parallel with the product itself. In addition to classic solutions in design and computation, Sogeti’s expert partners help it to offer turnkey solutions for manufacturing tools, up to and including commissioning.

The assembly-intensive manufacturing procedures familiar in the automotive and aerospace industries and in heavy machine construction demand tailored production and manufacturing tools. Such equipment is indispensable to the development of optimised workflows and ensures consistently high product quality. The experts at Sogeti High Tech develop the appropriate handling devices and assembly aids on a project-specific basis, thereby ensuring rational and efficient production flows.

Operator budgets come under pressure not just from the high costs of manufacturing products but also due to their ongoing maintenance. The quality of the devices and tools used for this is therefore very important: they must be both easy to use and offer a high level of precision and reliability. Sogeti High Tech makes a major contribution to the development of such devices with the aid of different simulations (DMU, kinematics and ergonomics) thereby ensuring that these devices have the necessary attributes. A major benefit is the ability to avoid the need for expensive prototypes, or at least to reduce them to a minimum.

A number of important manufacturing tasks cannot be performed using standard tools or accessories. Sogeti High Tech understands that special tasks demand special solutions. This applies above all to regularly recurring activities where automation could be used to considerably reduce costs. We therefore offer solutions designed for these specific needs
